YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) State coordinator Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy alleged that the coalition government was trying to bury the alleged irregularities in the Mega DSC-2025 by refusing to answer specific questions and instead unleashing police repression against students, unemployed youth and the Opposition.

He said the affected candidates had first raised the issue, approached the courts and produced evidence, following which the YSRCP took it up. The response to the protests organised by the party for more than a month showed that the issue was rooted in genuine public concern, he said.

Addressing the media at the YSRCP central office in Tadepalli on Monday, Mr. Ramakrishna Reddy questioned why the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) had complete control over question-paper setting and examination management, and why confidential digital functions were entrusted to outsourced personnel.

He also sought an explanation for calling candidates in a 1:1 ratio and denying appointments after certificate verification. The sports quota had exposed an even larger pattern, he alleged, with the government removing the written-test requirement through special G.Os., filling teacher posts without a DSC examination and restoring the examination requirement immediately after the recruitment.

Instead of answering these questions, the government was projecting that everything was in order and using selected candidates to attack those seeking an inquiry, he alleged. The movement would not stop until HRD Minister Nara Lokesh resigned and a CBI inquiry was ordered into Mega DSC-2025, he said.
